But let's be honest, concerning what we're talking about, a lot of people desire to be blind and stay that way! They feel it takes away accountability. They will soon find out how wrong they are. People have always wanted to rule themselves, it don't end up so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't believe that on a day like today or any other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One messed up war that messed our soldiers and families up. Don't think Vietnam was messing with our right to vote. You can't go to war with every Country that don't adhere to our type of Government.

If everyone had that opinion, it wouldn't be necessary to ever go to war... unfortunately, there are those controlling armies around the globe that would sacrifice most of the populations of their countries to bring us down, and most of those not in that category look to us first to defend their freedoms as well. Since you were in the service of our armed forces, let me say a heartfelt "THANK YOU". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTCB Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 This old dead British guy that was very critical of the way the British government was treating the colonies in America is often quoted as saying "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Sometimes war is the right and necessary course of action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have skeletons in our closets - but having retired from the service, been on 4 continents and in 21 countries, I have not seen a better option. The price paid in blood is honored each time you cast a ballot, if you choose not to vote, you may still complain about how things are done even though you choose not participate - that is your right. The price was paid for you to have that choice, which is part of the genius of the Republic. Your years of service (76ish I am guessing) were tough years to be in, thank you for being willing to serve when almost everyone was abandoning the services. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
